Frank Layden's passing marks the end of an era for Utah Jazz basketball. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, reflects on Layden's immeasurable impact as a coach, general manager, and human being. Layden's authenticity, humor, and genuine care for others left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered, from players to fans.
Layden's legacy extends beyond his coaching acumen. He built the Jazz from the ground up, drafting John Stockton and Karl Malone in back-to-back years, and laying the foundation for decades of success. His decision to step down as head coach to ensure Jerry Sloan's ascension showcases his selflessness and vision. The podcast explores Layden's role in establishing the Jazz in Utah, his knack for player development, and the lasting impact of his leadership on the franchise and community.
